I suspect the option you're looking for is... Home > Help & Settings > Parental Controls > Request a PIN to watch recordings

Unfortunately you can’t.

Judging by @carebear1 post in another thread, the advice above refers to the TV360 platform.

This thread is in the V6 forum, and @Tomola25 has different software.

Yes it does now but I’m a longtime virgin customer and I also had the same questions about parental controls when my boxes were still V6. V6 or 360 neither can be customised in the way the OP wants. Virgins advice was the same as yours just use a pin which we already did. 

*edited* I’ve only had my updated system since Feb. Been with virgin 8 years. 

Hey there @carebear1, thanks for reaching out to us.

I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with the parental controls.
Unfortunately as far as I'm aware, this is not something that can be altered, the reason for it is for the safety and control of what can be done on the TV services, it has been kept broad and not made user specific for safety of the content viewed.
You can find more information about this here

However, I will feed this information back regarding the frustration it can cause 🙂

Kind regards.
